Peippola, Manor house in Elimäki, Finland
Peippola is a single-story log manor house located in the center of Elimäki, surrounded by a centuries-old park with mature trees and open grounds. The building and its landscape sit within a network of historic estates that mark the local countryside.
The manor house was built in 1847 following architect Theodor Höijer's design, reflecting the transformation of Finnish estates that followed royal land grants. It represents the evolution of such properties during the 1800s.
The property forms part of a network of manors that illustrate the development of Finnish agricultural practices and estate management from the 1600s onward.
The property is accessible during regular visiting hours and offers guided tours through the house and gardens, particularly in the warmer months. The park area invites leisurely walks and is easy to explore on foot.
The nearby Elimäenjärvi lake was drained in 1948, creating hundreds of hectares of new farmland that transformed agricultural possibilities for the estate and surrounding area. This land reclamation project significantly altered the region's farming landscape.
